Is 1t a Boy or Girl?

Kansas City Times: Here is one the ladies
will enjoy. 1t is too good to keep from the
poor mnocents. 4oar correspondent heard
day by a gentleman from Lincoln county,
and promised not to tell. and would
not do so but for the fact that he knows
that be will receive the thanks of all woman
kind, unless it be the two fair ones who fig
ured in the following incident. They
are both lsdies prominent in the most
refined, religious, and social circles to
be found in Kentucky. and reside not a
hundred miles from Stanford. One, whom
we shall call. prs. A, was a modest mat
ron, and desiring tF1have several teeth ex-
tracted, calked upo her neighbor, Mrs. b.,
to accompany her to tho officeQ the dentist
the Office, it was found that Mrs. 4. IS courage
was at q very low ebb, and she was per
suaded toe9st the efficacy of Laughing
gas The dentist ahad given it to scores of
ger, . and he assured Mrs. A. that she would
recover from the effects of the gas in q little
while and would suffer no pain whatever.
With nerves wrought up to the highest ten
sion Mrs. A. took the chair, and the dentist
began to administer gas, the effect of which
Tas somewhat startling to him and abso-
lutsly horrifying to Mrs, B.
The patient was getting well under the
influence, y when tAe following dialogue oc-
Cured:
Mrs. As everything ready,
Mira. B.-Yes, everything is all right.
MrG. Alias the doctor conner
Mrs. B.-Yes. the doctor is here.
{Here the doctor gets his nippers on a de-
cayed molar, and after a few twists and jerks
lifts it out.)
Mrs. 40, my; nobody ever suffered such
pains, doctor. Doctori will it kll me?
Doctor-O. no madame. IL viii soon be
over, as he drops another tooth on the floor.
Mrs. A.-MheIe is papa
Atthis point Mrs. B. g veil is drawn four
teen double oyer her face, and the dentists
face turns as red as a beet, as he drops ont
the last ugly tooth and sprinkles q little
water in the lady's face.
In a greatly relieved voice Mrs. A., still la
boring under the delusion, asks: rs it a boy
or girl Z"
This last query utterly paralyzed the doc
tor, who made a break for another room,
leaving the two ladies alone.
Reason soon returned and the ladies, c,ose-
" yelled. entered their carriage and drove
home. It was some time before Mrs. b. com
mIlnieated the happenings in the dentists
office to Mrs. A., who was so greatly shocked
that an Illness followed that babe fair ut one
stage to terminate fatally.
The ladies made solemn VOWS to keep the
matter secret, but it soon leaked out-they
say-through their husbands. They are
thoroughly satisfied with experimenting
with laughing gas, and are also satisfied that
it affects people i'll a very singular manner.
